$600 DIG Funding Received from Alumni Association Board

 

Children Obtaining Dermatology Education through Bulletin Boards (CODE BB) is a new project being implemented at Crenshaw Middle School through DIG this year and was recently awarded $500 by the Alumni Association for project funding. CODE BB’s aim is to provide dermatology education to middle school students through the use of creative and informative bulletin boards that will present a new dermatology topic each month. Volunteer sign-ups will be sent out in the DIG GroupMe soon! Feel free to reach out to Casey Brusen (cabrusen@utmb.edu) or Lynchi Nguyen (lypnguye@utmb.edu) if you have any questions!

Good Skin Knowledge (GSK) program is supported by the AAD with a goal of educating youth on good skin, hair and nail health, and reducing stigma and bullying. In addition to a $300 grant given by the AAD, GSK was recently awarded $100 by the Alumni Association for project funding. There will be four workshops held at Austin Elementary School. Please contact Bethel Desta (bddest@utmb.edu) or Jane Onyemachi (jaonyema@utmb.edu) for volunteer opportunities!
